SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment

When schools are full, theme park crowds shrink, so it's a spectacular time to discover your inner child among the rides and characters otherwise swarmed by families. Check out SeaWorld Orlando's newest attraction, Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin, where four species of the black and white birds frolic in a frigid setting built to imitate the South Pole. Go Sept. 14-15, and you can reserve a spot to dine with animal expert Jack Hanna.
